Are you and your fiance big travelers and you’re looking for a way to include these memories for your wedding? Consider dropping the traditional table numbers and create destination table numbers! Scroll below to see how I used it in my wedding and visit my Etsy listing to have me recreate it for your big day!

Derek and I had been on our fair share of vacations around the US and internationally prior to getting married. For our wedding, instead of traditional table numbers I created destination table numbers showcasing places we have been together and photos displayed for a personal touch.

When guests left the cocktail hour area and walked towards the reception room, they found this large frame listing all the seating locations, surrounded by smaller photo frames.

These frames (which were also found at thrift stores and were finished with the same matting technique done for the family wedding photos) included photos of Derek and I, with a small description describing the location shown. Guests were able to learn where their seat was, and, if desired, check out some photos of us over the years.

I liked this set up as 1) I didn’t have to make all those little escort cards and B) if people wanted to look at photos of us they could, or if they wanted to find their seat and move on their way, they could do that also. (We all know most men probably don’t care, but women love to look at pictures!)
Once entering the reception room, guests found their seats when reading each of the “table numbers” which included the state/country silhouette. (The venue never put these pieces in frames as I asked prior to the big day and it was only something I noticed later in the evening. By then, of course, it didn’t matter and no one notice but me!)
I added a glittered heart over the specific area of that state/country for a little touch of gold to complete my black, white and gold color combo.
I’m so happy how this collection came out!
UPDATE:
Do you like these destination table numbers and want them for your special day? I can create them for you as I did for others! Send me an email to discuss!
